African Elephant (loxodonta africana) - Range: Open and wooded grasslands from southern to northern South Africa. - Diet: Elephants are herbivores, eating primarily bark, roots and fruits. They have to eat twice a day what they need because they digest only half of what is consumed. - Fun fact: each elephant herd is made of related females: sisters, aunts, and cousins; and their juvenile male offspring. They're led by the oldest female called the matriarch. Because of her experience, she remembers where to find water holes and feeding areas, and shows the herd where they are.
